I know a lot of people don't have the time to check out the White House's photostream at Flickr on a regular basis and since blackwaterdog hasn't posted any of her photo related diaries since last November I thought I'd put one together for everyone.
If you see an image you really like I encourage you to click through using the links I've provided under each image and view that photo in a larger format. Also, you can order prints through Flickr or download full sized files to print at home if you'd like. I've printed quite a few over the years to hang in my office here at school.
